Can anyone tell me what hydraulic fluid is best to use in a man lift? There is a tractor supply nearby so I would probably buy it there if possible. Thankyou.
Last winter I loved having my 3 pt mounted snow blower, but at times if the snow was real wet I found myself relying on the front loader to clear it. After some plasma cutting and welding I solved that problem with an additional front mounted blade that drops in place of my pallet forks. I...
I went to move a piece of machinery for a neighbor today and almost tipped my L3540 on its side. I have turf tires and was wondering if having them filled would plant the tractor on the ground better than just rear mounted implements for weight. I regularly use pallet forks and pick up heavy...
I had my B5200 out today after several months of sitting and I was thinking to myself the fuel in the tank is getting old. The tractor ran perfectly fine as always and I was curious if diesel stores better or longer than gasoline? I do have stanadyne fuel treatment in the fuel for extra protection.
Recently discovered my L3540 with 250 hours has about a 2.5 inch crack on the lower black plastic portion of the roof over the door. Anybody patched one with jb weld or a similar product and how were the results.
I recently used my 3 pt mounted post hole digger for the first time to help out a neighbor with a project and had a question. I found that as the auger went down into the ground I had to creep the tractor forward to keep the hole straight up and down. I find it deceiving from inside the cab as...
I know this has probably been discussed at length before, but I was wondering what opinions are on fuel additives in new equipment. I currently treat the ULSD fuel in my 2000 GMC truck and in my B5200 with Stanadyne performance formula diesel additive, but do not use any additives in my new...
I left my tractor parked too close to the paddock and my horse reached over the fence and dragged his teeth across the glass door on my cab. He left several scratches on the surface of the glass and I was wondering if anyone knows if theres a way to remove them?:mad::mad:
Anyone have any idea why my engine would run fine for varying lengths of time and then slowly loose power and rpm's until it stalls. It does this even when parked in neutral with no pto or any load on the engine. I checked inside the fuel tank for anything foreign that could restrict fuel flow...
I bought a Bearcat SC5540B chipper for my tractor today and it works great, but on several instances the tractor shut down without warning as if a safety switch is kicking in. I followed the owners manual procedures on running the pto while out of the cab and I checked the electrical...
I recently acquired a mini light bar that is designed to mount with suction cups and plug into a cigarette lighter for power. My tractor is a L3540 cab tractor and as most of you know the plastic roofs on them are pretty light weight. I was wondering if anyone out there has made any type of...
Is anyone familiar with the Bearcat SC5540 pto driven chipper/shredder? I talked to some dealers and was told by some that it works very well, while one dealer said it would not work well unless it was a chipper with hydraulic feed. I saw the Bearcat model SC5540 that I am interested in on...
I plan to do an oil and filter change on my L3540. The digital service indicator is on at just over 100 hours now and I was wondering how to reset it after the oil change. I looked thru my owners manual and could not find the procedure. I think I probably just disconnect the battery for a...
I recently saw an advertisement somewhere for an air over hydraulic top link and was wondering if anyone has one and how they like it before I shell out the $250 for one. I would be putting it on a L3540 HSTC and was wondering how well constructed it is and if there are any down sides to this...
KKPOP sorry for the delay on posting pictures of my tractor and blower. Attached are a few pictures of my L3540 and Lorenz 78 inch snowblower. In a couple of the pics I had my pallet forks on in place of my bucket at the time. I will try to get someone to take some pics of the blower in...
